The Pac-12 has been reduced to embers after college sports' latest round of realignment, and there is a natural temptation to assign blame. There's a lot to go around: terrible leadership, bad timing, regional apathy and a lengthy list of poor, pivotal decisions. The conference's consistent lack of relevance in the College Football Playoff picture exacerbated things and its reputation suffered as a result.
Just don't blame the quarterbacks.
Through all that went wrong, there is one problem the Pac-12 has never been credibly accused of having, and that is an inability to deliver a fantastically entertaining product on a game-by-game basis.
